I've had the Toyo T1-R's for over a year. I love them. Decent wear, good handling, decent road noise.

A lot people seem to REALLY like Michelin PS2s for dry tarmac. Many say they are "best" tire for the E90/91/92.

Others suggest that the Goodyear F1 G3-D3 (slightly cheaper...and not on your list) is almost as good as the Michelin PS2s in the dry...but are also better in the wet.

PS2s if you got the money. I always loved them on my E46.

I really really like my PS2s. Absolute best tire for the money

Ordinary Potenza beats ps2. Pole position beats all the others in the list hands down.

Baah. The Pole Smokers suck. PS2's rule all.

I havent driven those tires on an E90, but a E39 with a Dinan supercharger. I honestly wasnt very impressed by them. I love my PS2s, and wouldnt trade them for anything else for their value.

This Car and Driver special report on tires helped me decide what to buy.
